Catastrophic Injury

All accident injuries cause some type of temporary interference on your well-being and health, but then there are the accident victims who never fully recover. Catastrophic injury victims are individuals who have suffered a major or permanent injury that has a profound and lasting effect on their life. 

 

According to U.S. Code Title 42, a catastrophic injury is defined as "An injury, the direct and proximate consequences of which permanently prevent an individual from performing any gainful work.” The same injury that can prevent a person from returning to employment is also likely to interfere with basic activities of daily living (ADL) and substantially diminish overall quality of life. (42 USCS § 3796b)"
